<div class="community-section" id="introduction">
  <p>The Kubernetes community — users, contributors, and the culture we've
  built together — is one of the biggest reasons for the meteoric rise of
  this open source project. Our culture and values continue to grow and change
  as the project itself grows and changes. We all work together toward constant
  improvement of the project and the ways we work on it.</p>
  <p> We are the people who file issues and pull requests, attend SIG meetings,
  Kubernetes meetups, and KubeCon, advocate for its adoption and innovation,
  run <code>kubectl get pods</code>, and contribute in a thousand other vital
  ways. Read on to learn how you can get involved and become part of this amazing
  community.</p>
